Another family favorite and definitely one of my favorite dishes, I could eat it all by myself...but I just cannot hold that much! HA! This is a truly delicious dish and can be used as a main dish with salad and rolls or as a side dish with chicken 'n dumplings, collard greens and southern fried cornbread just like I made yesterday! LOL I hope you like it as much as we do! Please let me know what you think when you make it!
